Alternative towing method for trailer

[Bum-bling-B]

Just ran across this. Since we DO have a tailgate it's an idea to just get a 5th wheel trailer. Who wants to be the first to try this? Jet? Are you game? Sock monkey? How about you?

I wouldn't even try it with my F150

But at least with the Smart the weight would be closer to over the wheels

I like how you can almost see a gap under the front tires of that SUV.

Looks like Utah. They must of migrated from Indiana, Illinois or Wisconsin .

I like how he has incorporated some natural materials, like the 4x4 block of wood used as a support between the hitch and the tailgate.

That makes total sense now.



At least in their mind

Thansk for the clarification photo.

Boy, Howdy. That's just an accident looking for a place to happen.

Even in America, that can't be legal, can it?
Looks like a real bodge job to me, far too much weight to tow with the tailgate, and using the block of wood is a stroke of pure genius.
